Severe thunderstorms are not expected on Monday. ....Synopsis and Discussion... A shortwave trough is forecast to be centered over the central Plains early Monday morning, before then progressing northeastward and maturing into a closed mid-latitude cyclone. An attendant surface low will take a similar track as the system becomes increasingly vertically stacked. An associated cold front will extend southward from this low, pushing eastward across the Mid MS Valley throughout the day. By early Tuesday morning, this cyclone will likely be centered over Lake MI, with the cold front arcing southeastward into Lower MI and then back southwestward to another surface low over south-central OK. Strong forcing for ascent is expected across the Mid MS Valley as the maturing shortwave and associated cold front push through Monday morning. Thermodynamic conditions ahead of the front will be marginal at best, but modest elevated buoyancy is possible as a result of cold mid-level temperatures. As a result, isolated lightning flashes are possible. A few stronger convectively augmented gusts are possible as well. The active pattern will continue across the western CONUS, with another shortwave trough expected to drop southward across CA during the period. Cold mid-level temperatures and strong forcing for ascent could result in a few updrafts deep enough to produce lightning. ...Mosier.. 01/14/2023 $$ = = = To unsubscribe from WX-STORM and you already have a login, go to https://lists.illinois.edu and use the "Unsubscribe" link.
